#6 History Hack: Blitz Spirit

<p>We keep hearing about the need to embrace it in the face of Covid-19, but what is "Blitz Spirit?" Did it even exist? Historian and Consultant Joshua Levine joins us to talk about his hit book&nbsp;<em>The Secret History of the Blitz.&nbsp;</em>Learn about the parallels between 1940 and now; we ask how badly did people behave, and were the authorities prepared? Hear about the dark side of this fabled period of British history,&nbsp;why Sooty the bear was disturbing, and why garden centres near Josh need to up their security.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Support us:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.patreon.com/historyhack" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/historyhack</a></p><br><p>Tips:&nbsp;<a href="https://ko-fi.com/historyhack" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ko-fi.com/historyhack</a></p><br><p>Buy the books:&nbsp;<a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/historyhack" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/historyhack</a></p><br><p>Merch:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.historyhackpod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.historyhackpod.com/</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
